Before a recent Mississippi Braves(Atlanta Braves' Double-A affiliate) game, Darla Harlow threw out the ceremonial first pitch. And right after she threw out the pitch, she got the surprise of a lifetime.

The catcher, dressed in a Braves uniform with a catcher's mask on, was Darla's husband, Michael, a major in the Army that had just returned home from Afghanistan. Marla had no idea about this until she noticed it was Michael under the catcher's mask as he greeted her following the pitch.
